About This Event: Coca Leaf Summit
The Wisdom of the Leaf Coca Summit is a groundbreaking gathering dedicated to the exploration of coca's significance in human history and its promising future.This summit, organized in collaboration with Wade Davis, promises profound discussions on the past, present, and especially the future of coca.
The coca bush is unfairly stigmatized due to its link to cocaine, but in its natural form, it is a mild stimulant, it is immensely nutritious, and it has been used in Andean culture for more than 3,000 years. This summit aims to shift the focus from coca as an illegal drug source to recognizing its cultural, dietary, and medicinal value, promoting balanced legal policies.
Through thought-provoking discussions and presentations, speakers will delve into:
Coca’s History: Its ancient roots and cultural importance.
Coca Today: Current uses and societal impacts.
Coca’s Future: Potential roles in medicine, food, and policy reform.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to hear from Indigenous leaders, researchers, and policymakers about the potential of coca in medicine, food, culture, and policy.
